A highly influencial indie rock band on Jade Tree records, based out of Chicago, Illinois. Joan of Arc (Core members: Tim and Mike Kinsella and Sam Zurick, all three formerly of Cap'n Jazz) stick to the rock 'n roll basics, but through abstract song structure and unique electronic soundscapes, such as tape looping and sampling, JOA grab immediate attention and leave even the most jaded (pun not intended) indie rawker craving more. It seems many indie fans either love 'em or hate 'em, but no one can question their success (relative success, that is).
